Health Policy Agreement

To assist with a better understanding of the center’s policies regarding common illness signs and symptoms, we have set up new guidelines for parental contact and when children are excluded from care at our center.

Courtesy Calls

Courtesy calls will be made by staff when any symptoms of illness occur in a child including

Vomiting – 1 episode

Diarrhea – 1 episode

Any undetermined rash (even without presence of fever)

Eye redness or drainage

Elevated temperature – 100.0 degrees F or higher

Emergency Pick Up Calls

Emergency pick up calls will be made when signs of sudden illness happen and parents or noted emergency contacts are expected to pick up the individual child within one hour of the call including:

All temperatures will be taken by forehead/temporal scanner and reported as a direct reading to ensure accuracy. Once an elevated temperature is noted, children will be monitored every twenty minutes by the scanner to check rising trends.
